Day 8 ~ Week Two Goals

So I have survived week one basically unscathed, and coping well. How is everyone else travelling ? What are you finding to be your biggest challenges ? With the food side going alright I thought that this week my goal would be to try and get to training more. This is often a challenge due to timing around work partnered with my inability to get my lazy ass out of bed in the early morning. Especially on cold dark winter mornings, the call of my warm bed is too strong. This will be my goal this week to make as many sessions as I can and maybe even face the horrors of an early morning WOD. Yeah I don't beleive that one either. Though past experience tells me it is a great way to start the day. Hey if you can get through the days WOD anything else thrown at you during the rest of the day is easy.
I have come to an uneasy truce with the sloths, around their eating habits and accepted (sort of) that I cannot force them to eat Paleo but I can set the best example possible. Last night I gave in and purchased their favourite snacks and cereals during my grocery shop. I must admit they were very pleased and if filling a growing teen means they are eating weetabix and milo after school I have to suck it up and deal with that, it could be worse I suppose. Both boys are very active (for sloths) and spend lots of time outdoors, like most teens they spend far too much time in front of a screen be it computer or xbox, but I think there is a good balance. Interestingly last night as they helped unpack their processed treasures and amid the happy dances and whoops of delight as they discovered yet another forbidden treat the older sloth proclaimed his pleasure however the younger sloth quietly took me aside and said "Thanks Mum, but next time can you buy your normal shopping? I don't want to get obese and sick.". Hallelujah, though not ready to let his brother hear, the message is sinking in and the transition quietly happening. It will take time and baby steps but I still think I can convert the older sloth to healthier eating. Well he did put an apple in his lunchbox all by himself without prompting .........
Good luck as we enter week two. What are your goals?
